Training Resources to Support Training Providers Under the New Energy Training Pathways Initiative

The Australian Government is committed to prioritising the transition to a net zero economy under the New Energy Skills Program (the program). Investment in this program will support the development of fit-for-purpose training pathways for new energy industry jobs. The program includes funding for the New Energy Training Pathways Initiative which will support training providers to fast-track the delivery of clean energy qualifications and skill sets through the development of training resources.

The department is seeking a supplier to develop a suite of training resources for use by registered training providers delivering nationally recognised qualifications and skill sets in electric vehicles and renewables, as part of the New Energy Training Pathways Initiative.

The resources will assist in fast-tracking the delivery of existing new energy training qualifications and skill sets within the national Vocational Education and Training (VET) system from 2024. The provider is required to work with the relevant Jobs and Skills Councils and other stakeholders (including registered training providers and their representatives, as well as other industry groups) to firstly determine the type of training resources required, and then to develop those resources to support the delivery of the qualifications and skill sets nationally. Jobs and Skills Councils are being established to provide industry with a stronger, more strategic voice in ensuring Australia's VET sector delivers better outcomes for learners and employers.

Resources are required for each of the below specified nationally recognised qualifications and skill sets relating to renewable energy and electric vehicles within the VET system:

1. AUR32721 – Certificate III in Automotive Electric Vehicle Technology;

2. AURSS00063 – Battery Electric Vehicle Diagnose and Repair Skill Set;

3. AURSS00064 – Battery Electric Vehicle Inspection and Servicing Skill Set; and

4. UEE43322 – Certificate IV in Electrical – Renewable Energy.
